Last Slice of Pie by Kathryn Andrews (Starving for Southern #2)

🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒

Last Slice of Pie is a delicious treat! A second chance sports romance that'll have you believing in love and happily ever afters again, and is the perfect recipe to fully immerse yourself in the story.

Lexi has always had an unrequited crush on Bryan, and my heart immediately felt her plight in the first chapter. The thrill of knowing he was returning to their town, had me turning the pages as fast as I could read after that point.

Now Bryan...that man owns my heart! From the smallest things (his cherished memories of Lexi's cats while they were growing up), to his pursuit to win her over. He's the perfect example of what every book boyfriend should be.

Every time I re-read this book I'm making it a personal goal to make at least one of the recipes (there's one at the end of every chapter!)

Summary:

Lexi Jarvie

Pie isn't just a dessert, it's a way of life. Pies, fillings, jams, jellies, honey, they're all a part of my award-winning business, Firefly Kitchen. After being left behind, by everyone, I was determined to make it all on my own, and I have. I love what I do, I love what I've created, and I love who I've become. Yes, it's small, but it's mine, and nothing or no one can stop me now. Not even Bryan Brennen. He may have returned, but it won't be long before he leaves. And regardless of which way you slice it, some things can't be forgotten, no matter how sweet the taste.

Bryan Brennen

Football isn't just a sport, it's a way of life. I've spent more years than I can remember chasing my dream. When you come from nothing, it's even more important to become something. The unstoppable drive and incomparable determination that is ingrained in me has gotten me to where I am now; twenty-eight years old and undoubtedly the best professional quarterback in the league. To be happy is to be perfect. Plans, plays, passes, I've mastered them all, but it was never just for me, it was for her, too. Only she doesn't know it, and now, ten years later, I'm ready to tell her.

She's a small town girl. He's a household name.

Off the field and out of the kitchen, will they break and crumble, or finally get their second chance at the biggest game of them all...love.

Piece of My Heart by Sydney Logan

🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠

Piece of My Heart is a beautiful second chance story. I love high school sweethearts, they're some of the most genuine romances to read.

When Amber Tucker is introduced to readers, she's finally brave enough to leave her husband, after he goes to far and hits their son. Fleeing back to the hometown she once ran from, she tries to start over and create a better life for her son.

I'm from a small town, so watching everyone know Amber and her life story is no surprise to me. She has a great support system of friends and family to lean on, but her number one priority is Cade, her 10 year old son.

Noah Murphy has never stopped loving Amber, even after the betrayal that took her out of his life. He's the ultimate book boyfriend and everything I'd want in a guy.

I loved every chapter of this story, but the epilogue was the highlight for me. It gives you the perfect closure and made me cry.

Sydney Logan knows how to write a beautiful romance, with minimal angst and just the right amount of drama and romance. Well done!

**Trigger warning:

If spousal abuse is a trigger for you, be cautious, but it's very minimal, and a vital part of the story.

Summary:

They say true love never fades. I've spent the last decade, and a fortune in paint, making sure of it.

Amber Tucker never dreamed she'd return to Cedar Grove, but when she finally finds the courage to leave her abusive husband, she knows her old hometown is her only option. Desperate for a new life, Amber takes her ten-year-old son and moves in with her Aunt. She prays for a fresh start while hoping to avoid her childhood sweetheart - the man whose heart she broke nearly a decade ago.

Noah Murphy has spent the last ten years trying to forget Amber Tucker. He's had a hard time letting go - as evidenced by the big red heart on his farm's grain silo. Noah painted it when he was sixteen and crazy in love, and every spring, he gives the heart a fresh coat of paint. It's all he has left - the only reminder that Amber was real.

That is, until she returns to Cedar Grove.

When her husband comes calling, Amber knows she has to break the cycle of abuse, once and for all. But, when she takes matters into her own hands, can Noah protect her from the consequences of her actions? Or, will he lose her all over again?
